“Should your offspring be dispersed abroad as water
brooks in the streets?
17 [Confine yourself to your own wife] let
your children be for you alone, and not the children of strangers with you.
18 Let your fountain [of human life] be
blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], and rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant
doe [tender, gentle, attractive]–let her bosom satisfy you at all times, and
always be transported with delight in her love.
20 Why should you, my son, be infatuated with
a loose woman, embrace the bosom of an outsider, and go astray?
21 For the ways of man are directly before the
eyes of the Lord, and He [Who would have us live soberly, chastely, and godly]
carefully weighs all man's goings.”
HEBREWS 13:4 (AMPC)
Let marriage
be held in honour (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially
dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonoured);
for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and
adulterous.
Dear people of God, marriage as ordained by God is between a man
and a woman.
One man and one woman.
For those who refer to people like David the second king of
Israel and his son Solomon the third king who had multiple wives, please take
note that that was Old testament time when Judaism was being practised.
Even at that, it was God’s permissive will and not His perfect
will that people were marrying more than one woman because God had warned His
children the Israelites that whoever is chosen from amongst them as king must
NOT multiply wives because those women would eventually turn the man’s heart
from God to idolatry (Deuteronomy 17:15, 17), just as it eventually happened in
Solomon’s time.
Under the New Testament, which is the one and everlasting
covenant in place for every human being on this earth, it is one man, one woman
as husband and wife.
There are some groups of people who profess Christianity but, in
a bid to promote and justify their evil desire for sexual immorality defy God’s
law by teaching doctrines of devils to their congregation claiming that what
the Bible says in 1 Timothy 3:2 is that only a Bishop should have one wife.
Now, who is a Bishop? An overseer or superintendent or leader of
a Church congregation.
These same false teachers pretend not to be aware of verse 12 of
the same 1 Timothy 3 where it is stated that deacons or church workers must be
husbands of just one wife.
Again, God’s Word reinforces this command in Titus 1:6 where it
is stated that the elders of the church MUST be husbands of only one wife.
Dear friend, take note that God’s command in the Holy Bible is
for all human beings regardless of whatever you profess as your religious
belief.
God only recognizes the first legally married woman as the man’s
wife and God sees every other woman who is second, third, fourth, fifth or
whatever number as PROSTITUTES who must repent genuinely and move out of the
adulterous relationship they have with the man.
If you reading this message is involved in such an unlawful
relationship or you know anyone in such unlawful relationship, please repent
genuinely and immediately, ask God for forgiveness and move out of that home
before it is too late for you.
Ask God to direct your steps and provide your own husband for
you and trust Him to do so because when God sees your sincerity in repentance
and restitution, He will answer your prayers.
Whether you have children for the man or not is immaterial to
God. Just leave the home and stay on your own having asked God for His
direction.
No, it is not as difficult as you want to think because there
are many Christian women who have come to the knowledge of the Truth of God’s
Word, have repented, made restitution and God has provided for them and they
are living happily some with their own husbands and some alone with God as
their Husband.
The main reason many women enter into such adulterous
relationships with an already legally married man is because they have put
their trust for their well- being in a human and not in the God Who created
them.
God says whoever put turns away from Him (God) and puts his or
her trust in a fellow human being is under a great curse – Jeremiah 17:5.
As for the man who has a legally married wife but because of his
riches and inability to control his flesh has hired prostitutes as second,
third, fourth or fifth wives, you have must repent genuinely and ask God for
forgiveness.
Then you MUST make restitution by calling the women involved, explaining
to them that God hates adultery, which is what you have been practising with
them and that you MUST end the adulterous relationship by PERMANENTLY separating
from them.
If you have children with the woman or women involved, it is
your responsibility to cater for ONLY the children BUT the woman or women are
not your responsibility and therefore cannot live under the same roof with you
anymore.
If you can afford it, get the woman/women a house and let them
move out of your home immediately and let it end there.
For anyone who is in this situation and thinks it is a difficult
thing to do, it is because you underestimate God as your Father and Provider.
God loves His children with an everlasting love but God will
NEVER tolerate sin or disobedience to any of His commandments in the Holy Bible
no matter who you are.
Let me further remind you of the true story of Abraham and Hagar
the maid of his wife Sarah.
God promised Abraham at 75 years of age when he yet had no child
that he would become a father of nations and his wife Sarah would be the one
through which this would happen.
After 10 years of the promise with no child in sight, Sarah decided
on her own volition to help God and gave Hagar her maid to Abraham with whom
they had a child Ishmael.
Immediately she took in, Hagar began to taunt Sarah for her
childlessness and Sarah punished her badly and Hagar ran away.
God commanded Hagar to return to her boss and submit to her
authority – Genesis 16:5-11.
Hagar later gave birth to Ishmael and when Ishmael was 14 years
old, Sarah birthed the son of God’s promise Isaac.
A day came when Sarah saw Ishmael taunting Isaac his half
brother and Sarah told her husband Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away.
Abraham was pained by this request from Sarah but God confirmed
Sarah’s word and Abraham harkened to God’s Word and sent Hagar and Ishmael away
– Genesis 21:9-13.
However, God promised to make a nation from Ishmael and God
fulfilled His Word as recorded in Genesis 25:12-18.
Take note also that it was AFTER Sarah died (Genesis 23:1-2)
that Abraham took another wife, Keturah and had children with her as recorded
in Genesis 25:1-2.
Dear friend, it is the same God Who gave the command to Abraham
in the Old Testament we are talking about here.
Don’t allow anyone deceive you into believing God permits the
multiplication of women as wives in a man’s life and if you claim to be
ignorant, today you know the Truth of God’s Word.
As you can see, whether you are the man involved or the women
involved in such sinful situation, it is God Who provides all of your needs so
don’t tell yourself that the deed is done, God should forgive you and God
should show mercy and allow you continue to live in sin of adultery.
No, no and no!!
Repent, confess to God and make restitution before it is too
late for you.
If you are a non-Christian, God’s law on marriage also applies
to you.
Most importantly, you must not only repent, confess to God and
make restitution, you must turn away from the error of your faith and come to
the saving grace that only Jesus Christ can provide for you.
You can only reach God through Jesus Christ the King of kings,
Lord of lords Saviour and Messiah and by no other way.
Do not say nobody warned you because by reading this message,
you have been warned.
Jesus Christ is coming shortly to take in Rapture ONLY those who
are qualified according to His righteous standards in the Holy Bible.
Are you living a genuine life as His disciple? Are you ready for
Him? Come to Jesus today, for tomorrow may be too late for you.
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on
it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Holy Name, Amen.
Gabriel Ama.
